Survey of Ukrainian Internally Displaced Persons 2024
Reactions to regulations restricting eligibility for IDP benefit
Version 1.0, published: June 16, 2026.
Description
This dataset comprises survey data collected among Ukrainian internally displaced persons (IDPs). The survey was conducted by the Kyiv-based research agency Info Sapiens between 5th of November and 22nd of December 2024, approximately eight months after the introduction of regulatory changes that substantially reduced the number of recipients of the IDP living allowance in Ukraine.
A total of 3,243 individuals were screened, with 1,612 excluded for not meeting the IDP criterion, resulting in a final analytical sample of 1,631 IDPs. The survey was administered using computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI), with respondents selected via a random sample of mobile phone numbers across government-controlled territories of Ukraine. To ensure relevant experience, only individuals displaced for six months or longer were eligible. The maximum theoretical margin of error is 2.4%.
All participants provided voluntary informed consent prior to the interview. While the sample cannot be considered fully representative of all Ukrainian IDPs due to wartime conditions and population mobility, efforts were made to maximize representativeness. The sample was designed to reflect the demographic and geographic composition of the IDP population (gender, age, region, settlement size), using benchmarks from the Info Sapiens Omnibus survey (June–August 2024).
